Movin' to L.A.

Lake Ann, that is. Lake Ann, Michigan. Right now, I have an Interlochen address, although I live in Benzie County. Sometime over the next couple weeks, I’ll be completely moved to Lake Ann. From Inland Township to Almira Township.

I’m moving because I’ve lost my house due to foreclosure. I was one of those folks who bought a house at the height of the real estate market. Then the bottom fell out. And I haven’t been able to develop the income I’d hoped for. Despite having made a significant downpayment, I now owe more on the house than it is worth. I’ve pursued several avenues of recourse, but nothing has worked. This is a very common story.

So it’s time to move on. Start over. I’ll be sharing a house with a nice lady in Lake Ann. The biggest psychological hurdle was giving up the gardens that I’ve spent years developing. I’ve gotten over that one. At least I’ll be able to garden in my new place.

I may have to take a break from blogging for a couple weeks. I’ll get back to it as soon as I can. And I’ll update my website when the move is complete.

Best of luck to you on the move, Amy, and hopefully it will be a wonderful start to the next part of your life ;)

I just picked up my copy of Spin-Off and want to thank you for your article and pattern! This is EXACTLY the kind of article I love to see in Spin-Off (I will write and tell the spin-off people this as well) I can see one of your shawls and marl yarns in my future..made from my own Corriedale and Corriedale/Merino ;D
